WWE Says Becky Lynch “Re-Injured” Her Knee During Attack from Charlotte Flair at Live Event

WWE has announced that Becky Lynch “re-injured” her knee after an attack by Charlotte Flair at Saturday’s live event from Alexandria, Louisiana.

Below is WWE’s statement on the injury along with video of Lynch interfering during the match between Flair and SmackDown Women’s Champion Asuka. The attack backfires as Flair takes out the knee and uses a steel chair.

During a SmackDown live event in Alexandria, La., Saturday night, Becky Lynch suddenly leaped over the barricade from the crowd and attacked Charlotte Flair as The Queen was facing SmackDown Women’s Champion Asuka. In the heated altercation that followed, an irate Charlotte re-injured Becky’s knee, going as far to attack it with a steel chair.

The exchange came on the heels of WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon’s ruling on Raw that Becky receive a 60-day suspension from in-ring action and that Charlotte replace her in the Raw Women’s Championship Match at WrestleMania 35 against Ronda Rousey. Then, 24 hours later on SmackDown LIVE, Flair further stirred the pot by informing the WWE Universe that she was dedicating her title match at The Showcase of the Immortals to Lynch.
